Hi,
I've been on the CD diet for 2 weeks now and have lost about 11lbs. I'm very happy about the weight loss but today was just one of those crappy days. I couldn't for the life of me imagine how I could continue on this diet for 3 months to lose all my extra fat. I am currently 14.6stone (started at 15.4stone). My goal weight is 10stone. Anyway, I was seriously considering quitting this diet. Figured I would try it for another 2 weeks (that way I could at least say I'd tried it for a month ... lol) and then call it quits, but then I came across minimins and read some of the posts and inspirational stories on the forum, and feel a LOT better! It's very encouraging to know that I'm not alone on the CD, and that there are so many that have persevered and succeeded!

I know it is very hard to give up food. If it were easy, none of us would need to be on this diet. I crave things all the time, but then remind myself it isn't physical hunger I am feeling, I just "want" to eat something. Don't give into the blah days...it will get better and the rewards will be worth it! Good Luck.

Hi, I felt the same as you but six weeks in and 29lb lighter I feel great - it is hard but soon you will notice a real difference, stick with it x

Thank you all for the support. I'm about to start my fourth week on the CD. I've lost about 13.2lbs to date. Didn't lose any the second week, which was a disappointment, but I think that was because I didn't exercise enough, and my body wizened up. But I'm determined to keep this going because I know this is probably the last decent chance I have to lose this weight. Good luck to all of you!
